Care of the elderly/ A+E department - Band 6 Physiotherapist

Personal achievements within the role?
Working successfully under pressure within the emergency setting of the hospital in the admission avoidance team, to screen and offer treatment and services to as many people as possible.

What do you enjoy about being a locum?
The ability to try a variety of physiotherapist roles around different hospitals within London as well as different types of physiotherapy to expand my skills, so that i can become a well rounded physiotherapist. It has also helped me determine the direction in which i want to further my career when returning back to Australia.

Most memorable moment within your career?
When a patients family told me that their elderly father was very happy i was his physiotherapist and would do anything to improve each day in therapy with me because he wanted to get well enough to walk so i could go to a football game with him.

If you were stranded on a desert island what 3 items would you take?

2.) iPod with speakers
3.) My sunglasses collection -which isn't getting much use in London!
